"Christina Grimmie inside the venue after the show - as she was having a meet and greet with fans - and opened fire. Christina Grimmie's brother, Marcus, tackled the suspect and shortly after that, the suspect shot and killed himself.

"Christina Grimmie died from the gunshot wounds she suffered. Her brother Marcus is a hero and possibly saved countless other lives. He is not injured. There were about 120 people in The Plaza Live at the time of the shooting.

"The suspect - who's identity we will release later today - is a 27 year-old white male. He does not live in Orlando. He was armed with two loaded handguns and had additional ammunition on his person, as well as a hunting knife. Detectives are looking at his phone and computer in hopes of identifying a motive."

"In Christina's honor I have created a Go Fund Me page to assist her family in their time of need. As family Mother, Father, and Brother made the ultimate family sacrifice to support Christina on her musical journey. They did nothing but love her and support her as family the best they knew how, the only worry I want them to have at this point is that of recovery."

The killer "was not from Orlando," Police Chief John Mina said. "He apparently traveled to Orlando to commit this crime and had plans to travel back to where he came from." He was from Florida, Mina said

Investigators are searching the shooter's cell phone and computer "to see if we can find a motive," Chief Mina said. There is no indication that Grimmer knew the man.
